Brett Kavanaugh's wife and daughters look on as he is sworn in as Supreme Court justice after Senate confirms him amid protesters' cries and a presidential thumbs-up
Judge Brett Kavanaugh became Justice Brett Kavanaugh Saturday night when Chief Justice John Roberts swore him in a private ceremony
Also present was retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, who Kavanaugh once clerked for and whose retirement opened up a seat on the 9-member panel
President Trump's nominee passed his Senate test by a 50-48 vote, with one Republican voting 'present'
A tense showdown Friday, ending with moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins saying she would vote 'yes,' left the outcome in little doubt
Protesters in the Senate gallery interrupted the vote at least a half-dozen times; The Women's March claimed responsibility for them
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin crossed the aisle to vote for Kavanaugh; he's facing a tough re-election fight in Trump-friendly West Virginia
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski refused to vote yes, and abstained so pro-Kavanaugh Republican Sen. Steve Daines could be at his daughter's wedding
Trump said Murkowski 'will never recover from this. I think the people from Alaska will never forgive her for what she did'
He told reporters on Air Force One that he's '100 per cent' sure Christine Blasey Ford wrongly identified Kavanaugh as her sexual assailant from decades ago
